Congrats on passing your National Board exam! If you passed that, you should have no trouble with the licensing exam. Is your new job in Vegas, or are you moving on to somewhere else? Sounds like it will turn into a pretty good gig if the office and practice has a good rep already. I'm sure you will be a great dentist, and get lots of patients from word of mouth advertising.....which is the best kind. I myself, prefer young doctors because you have learned the latest and greatest ways of helping people.

:thumbsup:

The practice is here in Las Vegas. We've thought long and hard about moving but everything keeps telling us to stay in Vegas close to the majority of our family.

The practice is actually owned by my uncle... lol. I have always told him I dont want to work for him because I want to be him but the opportunity he is giving me is to great to pass up. His office is huge and very profitable... he has 4 other docs that work for him but none of them are partners. Im the first he has offered to let partner. At 3 years I can buy 25% of the business and that 25% will be more expensive to buy but also profitable than me buying my own practice. The top 10% of dental offices collect around 1-1.3 million a year (with overhead around 60%). His office collected 6 million last year and his overhead is 53%.... So I'm very blessed, fortunate and grateful for the opportunity he is giving me.

Personal congrats from a fellow dentist, I passed the Boards 32 years ago. Dentistry is a great profession. Best of luck in your career.

Thanks a bunch! Its crazy to think 4.5 years ago I said I'd never want to be a dentist yet here I am about to graduate dental school lol...

Dentistry is definitely still a good career, the insurance game can be a pain but overall the opportunity dentistry provides is amazing. The business side of dentistry is actually what I enjoy most about the dental career.
